Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has an impressive rate in spite of playing in two different leagues

First and foremost, even though his goalscoring rate might be the lowest on this list, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deserves appreciation for how quickly he has settled into the Premier League and maintained a fine average, after transferring from Borussia Dortmund in winter last season.

For the first half of the season, the Gabonese striker gave sturdy competition to Bayern's Robert Lewandowski at the top of the scoring charts in the Bundesliga. Overall, he found the net 31 times in 38 games with a goalscoring rate of 0.82 goals per game.

Now in his first full season at Arsenal, Aubameyang has already bagged 4 goals in 8 games with a goalscoring rate of 0.50 as the Gunners look to revive their former glory under the debut season of manager Unai Emery. Alongside attackers like Alexandre Lacazette and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, it remains to be seen if he can spearhead the club to a major title this season.

In love with Manchester United and a student of the beautiful game, I believe football is more than just a sport. It's an art that soothes the soul. It's a charming way of life.
I adore Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and revere Sir Alex Ferguson, Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola.
